History quiz, everyone!

Two quotes, two different British Prime Ministers – guess who said what:

“We shall never surrender… until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.”

“We mourn… every day those who are taken from us in such numbers, and the struggle is by no means over…”

See how the first quote inspires, where the second one falls flat like a mango from a skyscraper?

That’s because Boris Johnson – the current British PM – famously (conveniently) contracted the virus last month, but continued to give courageous hand waves while being filmed on the stoop of Number 10, all the while attempting to galvanize his inner Churchill with lame quotes such as above.

Goes without saying that Mr. Johnson would be subsequently hospitalized in the ICU only to swiftly recover in three days. According to our stats, Mr. Johnson had just over a 65% chance of surviving.

Hence the rapidity of his recovery is indeed extraordinary, neatly emulating the Miracle of Dunkirk.
Boris, the invisible enemy that is ‘Rona is not zee Germans, and no. 10 ain’t your bunker.

Can the British public smell a rat? Or are they just war weary after Brexit and choosing to switch off from political BS whilst in lockdown?

Even Hugh Grant from “Love Actually” would be an upgrade.
